Rosters:
- We divide our player pool into several teams each game day (coaches create the rosters).
- Every available girl will play each game day. We usually play multiple games each game day, with each girl playing one game. For example, if we have games at 9:00, 10:30 and 12:00, roughly a third of the girls will play at 9:00, another third at 10:30, and another third at 12:00. Link: game day procedures and guidelines
- We assign and post team rosters on our Junior Academy web site each Monday night prior to the weekend games. Games are usually scheduled 75-90 minutes apart. If our schedule lists game times as “9:00, 10:30, 12:00” you’ll know on Monday night whether your daughter is in a 9:00, 10:30 or 12:00 game. Link: sample game day page
- We’ll combine girls from both Metro North Park and United Quest Park on game days.
- Team rosters often change from week to week. Teams may be created based on playing level and / or age, or balanced / mixed so each NTH team is of the same level. Link: team assignments and levels of play
- Coaches will handle roster assignments. We may not be able to honor individual roster / game time requests. Link: schedule requests
Game formats:
- We have a mix of 5v5 and 7v7 games during the spring season. We’ll play with goalkeepers in the 5v5 and 7v7 games. The offside rule will apply in 7v7 games.
DH players:
- We will likely have some game days when we’ll need some players to play twice, or what we call “DH” (double-header) duty. Link: double-header play
Limited Sunday play:
- We normally play on Saturdays. We have one Sunday game day, a Mother’s Day special on May 12. (If we play an end-of-season tournament, that will also include Sunday play.)
Schedule conflicts:
- Please let us know as early as possible about any game day schedule conflicts. (E-mail to Ward is the preferred method.) We can work around most conflicts as long as we know about them by the weekend ahead of the game day.
Tournaments:
- We won’t play any 2-day pre-season tournaments.
- We plan to play in the NTH Adidas Cup tournament the weekend of May 18-19, 2019. This is a big tournament, hosting 100+ teams from local and other areas, ages U8 up through U19, with each team playing three or more games. This will be our final event of the spring season.
